Nice Beaver!

I love float planes and was in my element on Vancouver Island and in Vancouver itself. The Beaver is like the Land Rover of the float plane world.

The top and last pic are rotary engined ( I presume the Beaver ) but the middle one is a Cessna ?

When you say it's like a Land Rover..... Is that a good thing? In something that leaves the ground???

I think he means it leaves oil everywhere, makes a lot of noise but still is slow, and should be kept off the road for the sake of all others

Ha ha, good one Andy!! No, I meant the De Havilland Beaver has been around since the late 1940s and is still going strong with two thirds of those built still flying. It is the workhorse of the float plane world being extremely strong and reliable.

Thank you Silky. I certainly was, they were taking off and landing every five minutes in Vancouver and one night there were 13 tied up at the terminal. I'll probably never see that many again in my life.
